Socialism and the Church
Timothy Birdnow
The Church and Socialism; the Fallacy that won't go away
In the past the Catholic Church has strongly condemned Socialism, yet here we have the current Pope embracing it. It's a sin, not just wrong. Socialism violates the Commandments against theft, against coveting neighbor's goods, against not having other gods besides the Lord. It is nothing but a criminal conspiracy dressed in saintly robes. The Church needs to reaffirm that.
Oh, and the Pope's emphasis on the "preferential option for the poor" - a term invented by a Marxist Bishop who founded Liberation Theology - flies in the face of the fundamental purpose of Christianity, which is the salvation of souls. The physical well being of people is not unimportant, but it pales in comparison with the serious need to keep them out of Hell. This current Pope is more concerned with "social justice" than with Eternal Salvation.

Your article, and the one you reference, are both excellent, Tim. One is tempted to say that too many people, such as the Marxist bishop you reference, spend too much time trying to put their own spin on the Gospels. Rather, they should heed the warnings in Revelation about what will happen to those who add or subtract from the Lord's words.
